Correct answer
To avoid worsening possible cervical or spinal-cord injuries by moving the neck.
Incorrect removal can move the neck and worsen cervical or spinal-cord injuries. Protect the scene without exposing yourself, call 112 and follow emergency instructions. This is not an absolute prohibition in every situation: compromised breathing or cardiac/respiratory arrest requires life-saving assistance following those instructions. Safe removal requires technique and trained personnel; do not improvise neck movements.
